A little too compact
The eye holes are a bit small and hard to get used to. I've never had binoculars with such tiny eye holes, it takes time to focus and I'm not always successful. But for the money, these are fine.

Great find!! Get one!
Great sound for a small machine. Noise is far better than most sleep machines. No repetitive sounds. This is a fabulous buy!Read the directions. The volume and the sounds use the same buttons- it's pretty straightforward.

Wouldn’t get again
Wasn’t what I thought it would be. Fell off the wall the first week. The adhesion wasn’t up to par and it was very weak in brightness.

I finally get the hype
Just to get it out of the way, the only Bose speakers I've had to now were some secondhand computer speakers in the 90's. They were good speakers, but if you think about the kinds of things you could hear on your computer in the 90's, you'll get why I was underwhelmed at the time. So for purposes of this review, think of this as the first Bose I've ever owned.TL;DR: I get it now. I understand why everyone is crazy about Bose. This tiny speaker is worth every cent.My first delighted moment was realizing that this speaker turns on with a quick push of the button, instead of a long push like most capsule speakers. I'm not sure who made that decision for everyone else, but I'm not a fan. So a quick win for Bose.That delight was rapidly quashed when the speaker told me in no uncertain terms that I needed to download the Bose app to pair it. Everyone else has figured out how to pair with a phone natively, Bose. I'm sick of proprietary apps. Plus the app kept refusing to find the speaker until I had turned it off. Repeatedly I would turn it on and watch it disappear from the available devices, only to reappear (but be unable to pair, of course) once the speaker was turned off. It took me 10 minutes to get paired. If that's a regular occurrence I'll come back and remove a star, but for now...*Deep, Cleansing Breath*I've heard that the best song for testing a speaker is Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car.' Personally, I prefer the Across the Universe version of 'Dear Prudence.' Each of the four singers tests a different range, and the steady, thrumming bass pulse below it all shows how well your speaker can handle multiple ranges at a time. So that's what I used to try this out.The first thing you hear is the bass. Pretty nice, but I've had speakers with good bass. Gimmie more. Then there's a couple quick notes from the lead guitar, and...wow. I swear I can see the string vibrate in my mind's eye (ear?). Dana Fuchs' smoky, sultry voice comes in next, with perhaps a bit more of a crackle than I'm used to hearing. Good? Bad? Still withholding judgment.Then comes Jim Sturgess' tenor. On a good speaker, his voice is crisp enough to put on a sandwich. On the Bose, there's no sandwich needed, I'll eat it neat. Simply amazing. Evan Rachel Wood trilled alongside him, each layering and harmonizing together in ways I'd never experienced. And then the piece de resistance: Joe Anderson's baritone, which can get muddled or even disappear under the bass on lesser speakers, came out clear and resonant. Sturgess, Wood and Anderson started harmonizing for the chorus, and I was transported.Incidentally, this was about the time I looked over at my cats, both of whom have yawned through many a speaker test. Both of them were sitting bolt upright, trying to figure out where the new humans were. They've never reacted to music like this before, like they think there's really someone else in the house.As the song ended, when Joe is repeating "around around around" you can really hear the cyclical swell and dip of his tone, above and yet blending with every note played, instead of just an atonal repetition. My wife observed that the Bose did a fantastic job of separating voices from music or other background, and suggested songs from a couple musicals. We settled on "This is Me" from The Greatest Showman, and "Unlimited" from Wicked.Since I'm close to turning this review into a novella, I'll cut it short and say that I heard elements of the performance from each of the lead singers that I've never heard on other (really pretty good) speakers before. Bose has figured out some magic that separates and enhances vocal performances without diluting the music underneath. Snares still sound snazzy, bass thumps, and horns shine. And the sound field is full and large enough to cover every inch of our 900-ish foot downstairs with equally good sound. There's no bad seat, even at half volume.I honestly can't say enough good things about this speaker. I can't even tell you anything about the construction, battery life or other features, because I wanted to get this review in while the experience was fresh. The sound is that amazing. I'm converted. Time to start selling organs to get more Bose speakers.

Get what you pay for
Absolute love these lights, I returned a $60 pair and decided to spend a bit more, my budget was $200 so went for the GVM, so far perfect, I bought the batteries which cost another $100 for 4 and charger, lasts about 5 hours on 2 batteries per light.. Note they will not RUN on 1 battery alone.. Would defo buy again

Get more then you pay for
I've only had these for a week, with all ear pieces it's easy to get a comfortable fit, and sound quality is pretty good for the cost. All and all I don't know what else you could ask for.

35 minutes to get it tuned properly!!
It’s really nice to use but if your a beginner I would start with a thrust master since it’s cheaper. And if you end up liking it I would buy this.

Get's the job done
Fit's and functions properly. However if you really make it dark it does cause a purple color shift. This is not an uncommon problem in all but the over $100 filters. Still a very good item.
